After Bai Meng'an heard Wu Yunqi Qige's words, he looked at Zhuang Rui doubtfully.
"Ahem, Zhui Feng is a horse, but not that powerful. Don't listen to the little girl's nonsense..."
Zhuang Rui coughed. The relationship between him and animals was very pure. Zhuang Rui didn't want Zhui Feng to participate in any competition, and he didn't lack the bonus.
Back then, when White Lion came of age, Fatty Ma encouraged Zhuang Rui to take White Lion to a dog fighting competition. Among their Shanxi coal bosses, the winning or losing price of a dog fight was often over tens of millions.
Fatty Ma was kind-hearted at that time. He knew that Zhuang Rui was short on money by selling jadeite rough, so he wanted Zhuang Rui to make some extra money. However, Zhuang Rui didn't accept the favor at all. He even scolded Fatty Ma and almost broke up with that buddy.
Unexpectedly, Wu Yunqi Qige was also ungrateful and said, "Brother Zhuang Rui, I never talk nonsense. Zhui Feng is clearly better than these horses. You are the one talking nonsense..."
Timur thought that Zhuang Rui was being modest, so he also said, "Yes, Zhuang Rui's answer, in short-distance sprinting, the Red Blood may not be able to compete with these Western horses, but your pursuit of the wind will definitely be able to do it..."
To be honest, Timur has lived in the prairie for more than thirty years, and has also gone to Outer Mongolia to participate in equestrian competitions, but he has never seen a horse that can run faster than Chai Feng.
Now Bai Meng'an became interested and said with a smile: "Brother Zhuang, you are not particular about it. Just now you said you don't understand horses, but now you have a good horse at home. If it doesn't work, I will go to Beijing with you to have a look."
…”
It is extremely normal for rich people to raise horses, especially in Bai Meng'an's circle. In fact, Bai Meng'an may not value Zhuang Rui's "good horse" more, but this is an opportunity to enhance feelings.
Naturally, Bai Meng'an didn't want to miss it.
"Brother Bai, Brother Zhuang Rui's horse is in Hong Kong..." The less Zhuang Rui wanted to mention this matter, the more Qi Qige revealed it to him.
Bai Meng'an glanced at Zhuang Rui dissatisfied and said, "Let's go back and let me see..."
"Oh, I'm afraid of a traitor in everything. Little girl, you defeated Brother Zhuang Rui's army..."
Zhuang Rui's words made several people laugh. They raised their hands to look at the time and then said: "Ahem, Brother Bai, let's do it tomorrow. It's too late today. Grandpa Xuan Bing's birthday is tomorrow. You are coming anyway."
…”
After the night horse race, it was almost past 11 o'clock. Although this might be the beginning of Hong Kong's nightlife, with the status of people like Bai Meng'an, it is indeed inconvenient to go to the Qin family at this time, and Zhuang Rui is a member of the Qin family.
Son-in-law, it is not polite to bring guests to your home.
Of course, Bai Meng'an was familiar with the joints involved. He nodded and said, "Sure, Brother Zhuang, I'll go to the meeting early tomorrow. I'll take a look at the horse first. Is there anyone I can help with?"
After returning home, Zhuang Rui was inevitably questioned by Qin Xuanbing again, and finally managed to fool him.
…
In order to catch up with old friends, at Mr. Qin’s insistence, his birthday banquet was arranged in his villa. The garden of the villa has now been converted into a buffet restaurant, with two rows of long dining tables covered with exquisite
tablecloth filled with various delicacies.
"Uncle Li, you are here. Please come inside. My father was talking about you yesterday..."
"Sheng Wang, you are late. I will give you a toast later..."
"Uncle Huo, look, you are not in good health. Why are you here? Please come inside..."
"Brother Qin, I wish this old man happiness as long as the East China Sea and longevity as the Nanshan Mountain..."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao. Come on, please come inside. Xiaojun, take your Uncle Zhao to sit inside..."
Qin Haoran, along with his two younger brothers and several nephews, were waiting at the entrance of the villa at around four o'clock in the afternoon and got busy.
People of the same generation as Master Qin were led by Qin Haoran himself to the back garden, where the place was quiet and suitable for a group of old men to drink tea and chat.
If the people who come here are of the same generation as Qin Haoran, they will be taken by the juniors to rest in the garden after confessing their sins. Although it is the 80th birthday of Mr. Qin, no one is here to eat. In fact,
It's just a drinking party for Hong Kong's upper class.
Zhuang Rui is the grandson-in-law of the Qin family. As the saying goes, a married daughter throws away water. When Zhuang Rui comes here, he is considered a guest. He does not need to do the reception. However, he is not idle at this moment. He is surrounded by a group of young people.
Surrounded in the middle.
Unlike when Zhuang Rui first came to Hong Kong, no one paid any attention to him. This time, Mr. Qin's birthday has become the target of all the young people. Among them, Bai Meng'an and Zheng Hua are familiar with each other, and some of them have met before.
Someone who hasn't spoken much.
"Brother Zhuang, I heard that you were the one responsible for the excavation of Genghis Khan's mausoleum. Can you tell us what happened?"
"Yes, we must talk about it. Is the jade seal handed down from the country real or fake? My old man collects a jade seal from the Tang Dynasty. It is said to be a replica..."
"I've heard that there are several golden houses in the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan. Brother Zhuang, is that true?"
The things Zhuang Rui did in China some time ago were absolute headlines even in Hong Kong newspapers. These young people are really curious about how Zhuang Rui, who is about the same age as them, can be called various experts.
Title?
Of course, these people have all been told more or less by their family elders that they must have a good relationship with the son-in-law of the Qin family. Otherwise, due to the nature of some people, they would have gathered together to talk about female sports car stars.
"Ahem, everyone, it is true that I discovered the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan, and the process was similar to what the media reported..."
Zhuang Rui now has a headache when he mentions the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan. Things that others are proud of are a big trouble to him. After mentioning the Imperial Mausoleum in a few words, he continued: "As for the jade seal passed down to the country.
, I can guarantee that it is absolutely authentic. If you have the chance, you can go to the Dingguang Museum in Beijing to see it..."
"You must go and support me. Isn't the Dingguang Museum the property of Brother Zhuang..."
"Yes, yes, let's go together after the Macau Horse Racing Conference at the weekend..."
"Brother Zhuang is really amazing. Such a national treasure can actually be exhibited in a private museum for the first time..."
Hearing all kinds of compliments, Zhuang Rui's scalp was numb. At this time, he missed the scene when he came to Hong Kong for the first time to attend the charity dinner. No one paid attention to it, which was also a kind of happiness.
"Huh? Who's here? Grandpa actually welcomed him out?"
However, a commotion at the gate diverted the attention of those who surrounded Zhuang Rui, and Zhuang Rui also saw that Mr. Qin, who was originally behind him, actually walked towards the door with the support of Qin Xuanbing's second uncle.
I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"It's Li Chaoren, dear, he's actually here in person. The Qin family's old man is so proud..."
"Ahua, your grandpa is here too. Hasn't he been in poor health recently?"
"The guy from the Rong Group is here too, as well as Shao Daheng. It's really a big deal..."
The people in front kept announcing the names of the guests, and the younger generation's eyes were wide-eyed when they heard this. Although there were many elders in their families, there were several among them who had not been very active for a long time due to physical reasons.
Meet the guests.
We are gathering like this just to wish Mr. Qin, who belongs to a middle-class family in Hong Kong, a birthday. This is a bit too much.
Some well-informed people inevitably turn their attention to Zhuang Rui from time to time. They know that the reason why the Qin family suddenly has such a status is inseparable from this outside son-in-law.
Before Mr. Qin went out to greet everyone, a RV suddenly drove into the door of the villa, and two people who looked like bodyguards moved a wheelchair down.
"Mr. He from Macau is here..."
"The King of Gamblers is here too. Mr. Qin is so glorious..."
"Mr. He is an elder, and he came to wish the younger generation a birthday. The Qin family is about to get up..."
The arrival of Macau's gambling king once again caused a commotion at the door. Even many young people from the third generation of wealthy families crowded towards the door, wanting to have a look at the style of Macau's gambling king.
The arrival of Mr. He made the first-generation founders and second-generation successors feel disturbed. It seems that they still thought the Qin family was simple.
You must know that no matter in terms of age, reputation or wealth, there is no comparison between Qin's Jewelry and SJM. Mr. He can come, which only shows that there is something worthy of his friendship in the Qin family.
.
A few years ago, Mr. Qin might have celebrated his birthday, and only a few second-generation Hong Kong people came to celebrate his birthday. These could be said to be the super rich in the Chinese circle, and they would never come in person.
"He Sheng, how dare you work for you..."
Mr. Qin was in particularly good spirits today. After shaking off his son's hand, he walked up to the gambling king. It was impossible to say that Mr. Qin was not excited. Perhaps today was the most glorious moment in his life.
"Brother Qin, you are the birthday boy today, I just came to ask for a glass of water and wine, you're welcome, you're welcome..."
Even though the gambling king is sitting in a wheelchair, he is much shorter than everyone in the venue, but his momentum is probably only matched by a few people like Li Chaoren.
The gambling king signaled, and the fourth wife behind him pushed a wheelchair and entered the villa under the guidance of Mr. Qin himself. The fourth wife glanced at the place where the young people gathered, and lingered on Zhuang Rui intentionally or unintentionally.
"Didn't we just talk about the transfer of shares? As for inviting the old man out?"
Zhuang Rui was well aware of the arrival of the gambling king, but this was not the time to talk, so he could only nod to the fourth wife.
"Sir Shuwen, the ship king, has arrived..."
A voice at the door attracted Zhuang Rui's attention, and he frowned at the sight. Behind Shu Wen was the grandson of the old shipping king named Niu Hong.
